On the Craft Table...

Finally finished up my Outer Banks Travel Journal :) I am thrilled with how it turned out and am glad to add another journal to our family collection :) I love making these travel journals-- they are so simple to make, with no pressure of making them look just so.

+ To do captions/explanations for some of the pictures: I simply wrote on them with a permanent marker or pen, or stapled a tag on.

+ Extra pictures: I had a TON of pictures printed and knew they wouldn't all fit in the journal. So I put extra pictures (some with captions) in the envelopes already in the book. This makes for a fun surprise when looking back through the book, and all photos are there in the book, just not necessarily displayed.+ To avoid a lot of "blank backs" of pictures while looking through the journal, I glued (rolling adhesive) two pictures front to back in relevant order and then put them in the journal.
